The Mission • To create the Standards for the PLPA • Crematories, Funeral Homes, Cemeteries • To keep an open mind that we cannot dictate business practices – but standards that will be a part of who a PLPA member is • How will these Standards be monitored? • Is there a rating system for the different types of PLPA members? “Rules of Engagement” for those that agree to be members? How to handle complaints against members?
The Mission • Create a program that will give credentials to individuals in the pet death care industry • Course/curriculum creation • Continuing Education requirements • How/where the classes held – taking into account all technology pieces available too! • Educational components for the website and for members • White paper downloads • Monthly (?) webinars on pet death care business practices • Educational components for the consumer to turn to as they choose a pet memorialization facility
The Mission • How do we get the educational components out to the members/consumer? • Working with the Education committee too • Work with the veterinary industry to educate/market to them as well our PLPA message • Marketing for more members
The Mission • To help pet death care businesses be more profitable • To help market the benefits of PLPA in their day-to-day travels • Assisting in being our “eyes and ears” in the industry so that we can constantly be aware of educational and marketing opportunities.
How will we communicate? • Email updates • Facebook • MyPLPA.com
